A dumpster diver took to TikTok to discuss an issue many people do not even know exists. Old Navy, and other companies like it, may be “slashing clothing” before throwing it in the trash, so people cannot wear items found in its dumpsters.

“Old Navy, you’re trash for this,” said Sam Salvage (@sam_salvage), a thrifter who regularly tries to find unused items that stores throw out in their dumps and capitalist graveyards.
